A Negroni made breakfast-ready, the Alla Fiama pulls back the classic’s proportions to be slightly lower proof and adds freshly-squeezed peach juice to mimic the a.m. style of a Bellini. Instead of Campari, bartender Douglas Derrick uses Cappelletti Vino Aperitivo, another historic bitter Italian ingredient made from a wine-base and produced in the Alto Adige region. Sweet vermouth is replaced with Oregon’s Imbue Petal & Thorn vermouth, an amaro-inspired herbal ingredient made from a base of Oregon-grown pinot gris.
